you can only go to 4.1 with waninkoko's 4.1 updater, and it will keep your homebrew as is. doing an upgrade throu nintendo will erase all the homebrew you have and then you wont be able to follow dogeggs guide

i dont thinks so this is the guide i followed
BACKUP YOUR SD CARD BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE
DELETE EVERYTHING ON YOUR SD CARD OR THIS WILL NEVER WORK
ONLY THE FILES IN THIS PACK SHOULD BE ON THE SD CARD!!!

Put the contents on your SD Card as it is in the .rar just drag all to SD Card.

Go to Data Management then choose Channels followed by SD

Choose "Yes" to load boot.dol

LoadMii will then load.

Press "A" on the WiiMote.

Go down to DowngraderIOS35.dol and run it by pressing "A" on the WiiMote.
Choose downgrade IOS35 and then let it go, then choose exit (ignore the patchmii and dvdx)

You'll be back in LoadMii now.

Go down and run Wad Manager 1.4 by pressing "A" on WiiMote.

Just select normal settings (don't change IOS)

Install IOS35.wad.

Exit Wad Manager 1.4 by pressing "HOME"

You'll be back in LoadMii.

Run Wad Manager again, Select IOS35 when it asked what IOS to use.

Install the CIOSv7.wad.

Press "Home" to exit.

Then Run Wad Manager again.

Tell it to use IOS249.

Install IOS36.wad, BUL3g.wad & HBC.wad

You will now restart Wii to find that Backuplauncher and Homebrew Channel are installed and working.

Should be all hacked now and ready to grab the new versions of CIOS (v10 atm) from yafaze.com.

All credit for this goes to Wiipower from GBA, he's made an app that takes care of patching IOS so that you can run the cIOS installer.
This will work on any wii, 3.0-3.4, 4.0, 4.1, LU64+ & foreign equivalents
You need the HBC for this to work, so if your Wii is a total virgin then install it first.
This will also enable Preloader to work on LU64+ models.
TAKE OUT ALL GAMECUBE MEMORY CARDS/CONTROLLERS
There's a video you may want to have a look at too.
If you want a different cIOS to r14 have a look here.
Format your SD card with this tool if you get any errors.

Download TBR

1: Copy files to SD card, all IOS go on the root, the 3 apps in the 'apps' folder. It should look like this when done.

2: Go to Homebrew channel and run Trucha Bug Restorer, load IOS36, press 1, read the warnings then select 'downgrade IOS15', select to load IOS from SD card then let it do its job.

3: Run Trucha Bug Restorer again, this time using d-pad left/right to change the IOS, load IOS15 on first screen, select the IOS36 menu & install patched (select 'yes' on all 3 patches) IOS36 to slot 36, again using IOS from SD card.
